[PATCH v6 0/7] gpio: expose line bias flags to userspace

[PATCH v6 0/7] gpio: expose line bias flags to userspace

[Kent Gibson]

The changes from v5: 
  - rebased onto Bart's gpio/for-kent branch.

The changes from v4:
Review changes:
 - relocate restriction on applying bias to as-is from patch 2 to patch 1.
 - propagate errors, other than ENOTSUPP, from gpio_set_bias. (squashed 
   into patches 3 and 4).
 - include SET_CONFIG patch series v2 (patch 6 and 7 here).

I've also fixed a few other nits I noticed along the way:
 - rework gpio_set_bias as flags are mutually exclusive.
 - remove input flag required to set bias restriction from 
   lineevent_create as events are implicitly assumed inputs anyway.
 - reorder patches to group gpiolib bias patches together before the 
   gpio-mockup changes.


This series adds gross control of pull-up/pull-down to the GPIO uAPI.
Gross control means enabling and disabling of bias functionality,
not finer grained control such as setting biasing impedances.

The support allows both input and output lines to have any one of the
following biases applied as part of the line handle or event request:
 0. As Is - bias is left alone.  This is the default for ABI compatibility.
 1. Bias Disable - bias is explicitly disabled.
 2. Pull Down - pull-down bias is enabled.
 3. Pull Up - pull-up bias is enabled.

The biases are set via three flags, BIAS_DISABLE, BIAS_PULL_DOWN
and BIAS_PULL_UP.  These map directly to the similarly named 
pinctrl pin_config_param flags.
As Is corresponds to none of the flags being set.

The setting of biases on output lines may seem odd, but is to allow for
utilisation of internal pull-up/pull-down on open drain and open source
outputs, where supported in hardware.

The series also adds the GPIOHANDLE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL to the gpio chardev.
The ioctl allows some of the configuration of a requested handle to be
changed without having to release the line.
The primary use case is the changing of direction for bi-directional 
lines.

Patches are against Bart's gpio/for-kent branch[1].

The patch has been successfully tested against gpio-mockup, and 
on a Raspberry Pi, in both cases using the feature/pud_set_config 
branch of my Go gpiod library[2], as well as with my feature/pud 
development branch of libgpiod[3].  Patch 7 has only been tested using 
my gpiod library as libgpiod has not yet been updated to support the 
SET_CONFIG ioctl.

Patch 1 adds pull-up/pull-down support to line handle requests.
Patch 2 adds pull-up/pull-down support to line event requests.
Patch 3 adds support for disabling bias.
Patch 4 adds support for setting bias on output lines.
Patch 5 adds pull-up/down support to the gpio-mockup for uAPI testing.
Patch 6 refactors the flag validation from linehandle_create.
Patch 7 adds the SET_CONFIG ioctl.

[PATCH v6 1/7] gpio: expose pull-up/pull-down line flags to userspace

[Kent Gibson]

From: Drew Fustini <drew@pdp7.com>

Add pull-up/pull-down flags to the gpio line get and
set ioctl() calls.  Use cases include a push button
that does not have an external resistor.

Addition use cases described by Limor Fried (ladyada) of
Adafruit in this PR for Adafruit_Blinka Python lib:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka/pull/59

[PATCH v6 3/7] gpiolib: add support for disabling line bias

[Kent Gibson]

Allow pull up/down bias to be disabled, allowing the line to float
or to be biased only by external circuitry.
Use case is for where the bias has been applied previously, either
by default or by the user, but that setting may conflict with the
current use of the line.

[PATCH v6 4/7] gpiolib: add support for biasing output lines

[Kent Gibson]

Allow pull up/down bias to be set on output lines.
Use case is for open source or open drain applications where
internal pull up/down may conflict with external biasing.

I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong but I can't seem to apply this patch
from the series.

I checked out brgl/gpio/for-next.  I opened this mailbox from lore in mutt:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/20191105231533.GA3478@sol/t.mbox.gz

And then I saved each message in the v6 series so I could run 'git am' on each.
I thought I should be able to run git am on the whole mailbox file but I wasn't
sure if the cover letter and replies would cause a problem.

I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I can resolve this:

As per the cover note, v6 is based on brgl/gpio/for-kent, not brgl/gpio/for-next:

 The changes from v5:
  - rebased onto Bart's gpio/for-kent branch.
 
That is the only diff between v5 and v6.  Ironically you should be
applying v5 to your branch :)

Specifically, in my branch the v6 patch is applied to 

e812692b6e9c (brgl/gpio/for-kent) gpio: rcar: Use proper irq_chip name

which is still the HEAD at time of writing.

Applying the patch to for-next also breaks for me at 0004, so your 
patches are probably ok.

You aren't the only one wondering if there is an easier way to apply patches
from lore, especially when there are additional replies in the thread.
To write my demo showing how anyone, not just those that received the 
patches by mail, can rebase v5 onto for-kent to get v6, I ended up 
downloading the mbox.gz, and unzipping and removing the cruft from it.
Fortunately the mbox is chronological, so it was just removing the cover
note and then everything after patch 7.

Surely there is a better way to do this?
Is there a filter for lore or some tool out there that can filter
the returned mbox for you?

Cheers,
Kent.

[PATCH v6 5/7] gpio: mockup: add set_config to support pull up/down

[Kent Gibson]

Add support for the pull up/down state set via gpiolib line requests to
be reflected in the state of the mockup.
Use case is for testing of the GPIO uAPI, specifically the pull up/down
flags.

[PATCH v6 6/7] gpiolib: move validation of line handle flags into helper function

[Kent Gibson]

Move validation of line handle flags into helper function.
This reduces the size and complexity of linehandle_create and allows the
validation to be reused elsewhere.

[PATCH v6 7/7] gpio: add new SET_CONFIG ioctl() to gpio chardev

[Kent Gibson]

Add the GPIOHANDLE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL to the gpio chardev.
The ioctl allows some of the configuration of a requested handle to be
changed without having to release the line.
The primary use case is the changing of direction for bi-directional
lines.

I've just pushed a first pass at SET_CONFIG support into my libgpiod 
feature/pud branch.  It is causing me a bit of grief.  Due to the way
the libgpiod API is structured, with the direction flags pulled out into 
the request type, I thought it would be cleaner to keep changes to direction 
orthogonal to changes to the other handle flags.

So I've added these methods to the API:

int gpiod_line_set_config(struct gpiod_line *line, int flags)
int gpiod_line_set_direction_input(struct gpiod_line *line)
int gpiod_line_set_direction_output(struct gpiod_line *line,
				    int value)

along with their bulk equivalents.

I've coded that and started adding tests when I tripped over changing
bias.  The kernel requires a direction to be set, but I'm setting it
as-is in gpiod_line_set_config - so that wont work.
Open drain/source are in the same boat - they require output mode.

I see these options:
 1. set the direction as part of gpiod_line_set_config
 2. relax the kernel restriction.
 3. don't support changing bias or open source/drain.
 4. rethink the API.

The first option requires caching the value set for outputs which I'm a
bit hesitant to do, though I'm not sure why - I've already added caching
of the handle flags for the direction functions.

Any preferences or suggestions?

Cheers,
Kent.

Ha! Yes this is a problem - how about this:

If the caller of set_config in the kernel doesn't pass any of the
direction flags, then we read the current direction, set the right
flag in lflags and only then call the function validating the flags?

> I see these options:
>  1. set the direction as part of gpiod_line_set_config

Yes, I don't think we should force users to always pass the direction
flag in set_config. Good point.

>  3. don't support changing bias or open source/drain.

No! We definitely want to support it in libgpiod.

>  4. rethink the API.

As for libgpiod: I think we should have a low-level
gpiod_line_set_config() that would set both the direction and other
flags (it could for instance only accept two request flags: input and
output) and then a higher-level set_flags(), set_direction_input(),
set_direction_output() that would call the low-level variant and - for
set_flags() without the direction argument - it could simply retrieve
the current direction and pass it to gpiod_line_set_config().

But this is only a vague idea - I'd have to actually start looking at
the code to be sure. I'd love to see what you came up with so far
though!

After another thought: this would be a bit inconsistent with the rest
of the flags. IIRC this was the reason for me to split the
request_type and other flags into two separate fields in libgpiod in
the first place.

When I think about it: the kernel behavior should be as predictable as
possible - if we keep the behavior as is in v6, I don't see why we
couldn't make userspace cache (or re-read) the current direction when
setting flags other than direction? Do you see any trouble in that?
That way we'd avoid having the kernel treat different flags in
different way.

I was also thinking along that line - the config would be carried over 
from the initial request and any subsequent SET_CONFIGs.
The kernel could overlay the existing config over any field set 
"as-is" before performing validation.
The validation requirement would stand, but you don't need to pass the 
complete state, possibly including output values, with each SET_CONFIG 
request.

In the bias case above, I create the line as an output and so should 
be able to set the bias, even if neither INPUT nor OUTPUT is set in 
the SET_CONFIG request.

It is a bit inconsisent, so how about changing the rest of the flags 
to make them consistent? They need to have an as-is state, which 
corresponds to no flags set, and you then leave that field as is.
We currently have four fields in the handle flags - direction, active
state, drive, and bias.  Of those, direction and bias have as-is states.
What we are missing are additional flags so we have an as-is state for 
active state and drive.  

Currently: 
    ACTIVE_LOW == 0 => ACTIVE_HIGH, and 
    OPEN_DRAIN == 0 && OPEN_SOURCE == 0 => PUSH_PULL.

If we added an ACTIVE_HIGH flag, to counter ACTIVE_LOW, and PUSH_PULL 
to counter OPEN_DRAIN/OPEN_SOURCE, then we can have SET_CONFIG change 
the four fields (direction, active state, drive and bias), independently,
or not, as the caller sees fit.

For backward compatibility, the lines would be created with ACTIVE_HIGH 
and PUSH_PULL set, should they be requested "as-is", by the new 
definition.

This feels like the right solution to me - as I write this anyway.
The biggest downside I can see is that it means pulling v6, or at least
the SET_CONFIG patches, pending an update.

If in userspace then it will have to be cached - the kernel still has 
issues reading back output values for emulated open drain/source outputs.  
Fixing that is somewhere down my todo list.

I can't think of any concrete problems with caching.
It gives me "I have a bad feeling about this" vibe, but I can't pin
down why.  Maybe wanting to avoid shadowing kernel state in userspace?

But, as above, I'd rather fix the flags so we have as-is for all, and
caching becomes unnecessary.

I agree that there should add be a fully capable low level option.

The low level function would look have a signature like this:

int gpiod_line_set_config(struct gpiod_line *line, int direction, int flags,
    const int *default_vals)

The existing gpiod_line_set_config would be renamed gpiod_line_set_flags.

Indeed - what I had in mind changed radically once I had a closer look 
at the libgpiod API.  And it is still changing.

I'm not in favor of having the same behavior triggered in two
different ways: one explicit and one implicit. This API got released
and we have to live with it, I'm afraid. We could for instance add a
comment to the uAPI header though. I also don't think new AS_IS flags
are necessary. We can live fine with certain inconveniences in the
ioctl() API as long as user-space libraries make up for it by
structuring these calls differently.

To summarize: I'd prefer to make the SET_CONFIG ioctl() require
specifying the direction and then simply caching it in user-space.

Right, but we've lived with problems in this area for a long time and
nobody complained - maybe it can wait just a bit more. :)

The user-space can always read back the current state with the
lineinfo ioctl(), right? Any problems with that?

This idea in turn gives me a bad feeling. There's something too
implicit in this behavior for me. Sounds like it's too easy to get it
wrong from user-space.

My bad - I cut it down to you and Drew + list in my initial reply as I 
thought we'd only be talking libgpiod changes.
But then it took a sharp u-turn back to the kernel patch.

Anway I think we are now in agreement that the kernel is fine and we're 
back in libgpiod territory - see below.

Agreed.  I had a quick play with changing the kernel and it was ugly.
Too many conversions between flag layouts and messing with flag masks
and bits.  It was absolutely hideous.

Hey - I complained!  I had to skip over some of my tests because of that ;-).

Only that you have to convert from the info flag layout to the request
handle flag layout, or the libgpiod request_type + flag layout.
And I've already had enough of that for one day.

Oh, I always write test cases - manual testing is for monkeys.
The few I've added so far are just basic smoke tests - there will be
quite a few more added with better coverage once the API settles down.

I've pushed some more changes with the updated API we discussed earlier.
Those new tests I'd added now pass.  Yay.
One problem though - gpiod_line_set_config as written has no way to
accept an as-is direction.
Hopefully I'll have some time to take another look at that tomorrow.

This is not something that we need to merge the kernel changes, it
won't hit a libgpiod release until v5.5 is tagged anyway. Unless I'm
missing something, v6 is still fine to be merged upstream, right? Do
we agree on requiring the full config in SET_CONFIG?

I agree that the user needs to pass the full config to SET_CONFIG
and therefore that v6 is still good to merge.

The corresponding libgpiod work will be ongoing for a while.

I've pushed some more updates to my libgpiod branch[1].  They fix the
direction limitation I mentioned (I was using the wrong set flags), 
and extend the tests to cover all of the SET_CONFIG fields.

That completes the C API changes.
If that is ok with you then I can take a look at the corresponding 
changes to the C++ and Python bindings.

And I guess we should move this libgpiod discussion to a new thread?

Cheers,
Kent.

Yes, and better yet - you could simply send these patches for review
and we can continue the discussion there.

I was holding off on putting a patch series together until all the
functionality was complete - so after the C++ and Python bindings.

Sorry - I forgot to add the references to the bottom of the cover note
for v5 and v6.
It should've been:

[1] git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux.git
[2] https://github.com/warthog618/gpiod.git
[3] https://github.com/warthog618/libgpiod.git

It is my libgpiod repo on github[3] - in the feature/pud branch.

I had been looking at how to make these flags work on the BeagleBone
(TI Sitara AM3358 SoC) which uses the  gpio-omap driver and
pinctrl-single driver.  Howeverm, it seems that it is not posssible as
the BeagleBone device tree uses compatible of "pinctrl-single" instead
of "padconf-single", and thus pcs_pinconf_set() is not called [0].

The bias flags already work on the Raspberry Pi as the Broadcom SoC uses
pinctrl-bcm2835.c which uses gpiochip_generic_config() from gpiolib.c 
for .set_config in bcm2835_gpio_chip.  This eventually calls
bcm2835_pinconf_set() which handles the PIN_CONFIG_BIAS_* flags.

Thus, I started thinking about what other boards I could test the bias
flags with, and potentially, find drivers that I could add or fix
support.

The PIN_CONFIG_BIAS_* flags exist in these GPIO drivers:

gpio-aspeed.c:
aspeed seems to be used in server BMC so not hardware that I have
access to or could easily acquire.

gpio-mockup.c:
mockup driver that has already been tested and works

gpio-pca953x.c:
an external I2C GPIO expander, easy for me to acquire, it appears
that gpio uapi bias flags should work, but I could test and verify

gpiolib.c:
like the bmc2835 in the raspberry pi, it seems some drivers in pinctrl
directory will define a gpiochip and use gpiochip_generic_config().

Here is a list of other pinctrl drivers which use gpiochip_generic_config:

drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-stmfx.c and drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-sx150x.c:
These are both GPIO expanders which I could probably purchase

drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-intel.c:
Maybe this means that I could try this on x86 boards?

drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sunxi.c
Maybe the Allwinner boards might work too?


Any other hardware that I should take a look at testing?


Thanks,
Drew
